to calculate superconducting transition temp and el-ph const

Post by topgun »

Dear all,

I am trying to calculate superconducting transition temp and el-ph coupling constant. But the calculations are taking days even with 8 cores run in parallel
and I do not think more cores are helping in any way.


I want to know if there is easier and faster way to calculate the above quantities using
EPW code.

Hello,

As per email.

I have no idea about the speed of ELK. To my knowledge nobody did a real direct comparison between the two codes.

You can give EPW a try and see if it suits your needs.

Best,
